What is the definition of Thermosetting plastics?
Plastics which once moulded into a shape do not become soft on heating and cannot be moulded again are called thermosetting plastics.
Are all plastics petrochemicals?
No, not all plastics are petrochemicals. A few examples of bioplastics (plastics made from biologic sources) include Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acids and a wider variety of starch based plastics.
How does chemistry apply in plastics?
All plastics are products of the chemical industry.
What are the 2 different types of plastics called?
i think the answers you are looking for are thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics :)
What were the girls called in mean girls?

What are the differences between polymers and plastics?
Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units, while plastics are a type of polymer that can be molded into various shapes. Not all polymers are plastics, but all plastics are polymers. Plastics are a subset of polymers that have additional properties, such as being lightweight, durable, and easily molded.
What are the different ways of disposing plastics?
A. About 80 percent of all municipal solid waste is landfilled, while 10 percent is incinerated and 10 percent recycled. Because only a small percentage of plastics is recycled (less than one percent), virtually all plastics are landfilled or incinerated.

Why are plastics called plastics?
The word "plastic" is an old word meaning something along the lines of "moldable". Many materials commonly called plastics are moldable, at least if you heat them up (not all of them, though; it always gives me a little twinge to hear someone call a material like Bakelite "plastic" ... it will burn before it softens or melts).
What element is the main building block for plastics?
The main building block for plastics is not an element but rather a molecule that's called 'monomere' which turns into a 'polymere' by combining many molecules together (polymerisation reaction) in plastics
What are the building blocks of plastics called?
The building blocks of plastics are called monomers. These are small molecules that can join together to form long chains known as polymers through a process called polymerization.
Where are plastics made?
They are made all over the world.
